Dino, Gator or Dragon? What about a Hog Your Shine Mash-Up!

Dino, Gator, or Dragon? Join the Pop of Color Instagram Hop as I reimagine Pajama Crafter Stamps’ new Closer to Extinction and pair it with the fresh Hog Your Shine release. Is that stamped creature a dinosaur, an alligator, a dragon—or something entirely new? I masked and mashed up images for a playful, unexpected twist. Hop over to Instagram to see the full card, my WIP shots, and the design team’s colorful projects — plus giveaway!

Today I’m thrilled to share Pajama Crafter Stamps’ newest release: Hog Your Shine! I paired this new set with two favorites — Stadium Food and Date Night — to make a fun, snack-loving card with the giggle-worthy sentiment, “I’m just here for the snacks!” Food (and friends) really are the best part of any get-together, and these stamps capture that playful vibe perfectly.

Color and technique
I colored on Pajama Crafter Stamps’ Marshmallow Cardstock with alcohol markers for bold, smooth blends and bright, crisp results. The Hog Your Shine images are perfect for layered color and playful shading, and Stadium Food adds that snack-time charm. I used the Pig Press with my stamp positioner to get clean, even impressions every time.

A Card of Comfort Featuring In Our Hearts Always

🌼 A Card of Comfort 🌼

Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes, words escape us. In moments of grief or struggle, a simple card can bridge that gap, offering solace when our voices fall short.

Imagine holding a beautifully designed card, lush greenery enveloping heartfelt sentiments. This card, whether a sympathy note or a gesture of friendship, says, “I’m here for you.” It brings a sense of connection, reminding your friend that they are not alone in their journey.

Choose thoughtful words that resonate, and let the card carry your love and support. Sometimes, a little reminder can make a world of difference. 💌✨

Hello crafty friends!

Today I’m sharing a card created with the beautiful In Our Hearts Always stamp set from Pajama Crafter Stamps. This heartfelt set is perfect for creating cards that offer comfort, encouragement, and support during difficult moments. I paired it with a sweet bird image from the Birds of a Feather stamp set to create a design that feels gentle and thoughtful.

Card Design

For this A2 card, I wanted the design to feel simple and supportive, allowing the sentiment and imagery to take center stage. I began by hand-stamping and coloring the bird image, keeping the coloring soft so it would complement the sentiment without overpowering it.

To create a clean and polished layout, I layered panels of Marshmallow and Coal cardstock. The contrast between the light and dark layers provides a strong foundation for the focal image while still keeping the overall design elegant and balanced.

The sentiment from the In Our Hearts Always set adds the perfect message of comfort. This set is wonderful to have in your collection for those times when you want to send a meaningful card to someone who could use a little extra support.

Finishing Touches

Once the focal panel was complete, I assembled the layers onto an A2 card base. The layered cardstock panels help frame the design and draw the eye to the stamped image and sentiment.

This card is a reminder that handmade cards can be a powerful way to show someone they are loved and remembered.

To create an eye-catching background, I utilized my trusty stamp positioner to make a wreath-like structure using the drumstick stamp from the set, which frames the sassy chicken beautifully! The added movement from the action wobbler makes this card even more fun and unique, perfect for anyone receiving it 🎉!

Wonky Christmas Toy Card inspired by Craft Roulette

🌟 Exciting news, everyone! I’m thrilled to share the inspiration behind my newest card creation featuring Pajama Crafter stamps! 🎨✨

Let’s get crafting together! 🛌💌 #PajamaCrafterStamps #StampedbyKelly #HamdmadeCards

Craft Roulette inspired me this week — the challenge was a fun mash-up:
Project: HOLIDAY card
Colors: Forest Colors
Element: Toy(s)
Random: Wonky

I leaned into cozy, rustic holiday vibes and made a wonky, toy-themed holiday card using Pajama Crafter Stamps’ products. I started with a kraft colored card base, layered a white card layer using a smaller stitched panel and 3 separate stitched strips of paper 1 5/8 inch tall with my stitched die and placed them in a wonky format to give the design playful movement. The sketch came from a Pinterest post I loved by Creative Juice by Loni, but I modified it with my stitched dies to add texture and interest, plus I wanted my patterned papers to be more centered and cut them down a bit to approximately 1 5/8 inch x 3 3/4 inch wide.

Design highlights

  • Forest palette: deep pine greens, warm browns, golden yellow sunlight peeking through the trees and berry red accents for a classic holiday feel.
  • Toys element: I used the dinosaur playing drums from Dino-mite Birthday Stamp Set, ornament images from the Weinerful Christmas Stamp Set, pine branch from the Rustic Christmas Owl Stamp Set and the sentiment from the Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp Set.
  • Wonky layout: the tilted stitched panels using 3 different patterned papers from the 6×6 paper pack called WINTER PARADE. plus a slightly askew sentiment strip makes the card feel fun and handmade.
  • Finishing touches: foam tape to pop up focal images, a dusting of white gel pen “snow,” and crystal 3-d glaze and Stickles for some glitz.

Products I used (affiliate link)
https://pajamacrafterstamps.com/STAMPEDBYKELLYBLOG (https://pajamacrafterstamps.com/STAMPEDBYKELLYBLOG)

  1. Winter Parade 6×6 paper pack
  2. Dino-mite Birthday Stamp Set
  3. Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp Set
  4. Rustic Christmas Owl Stamp Set
  5. Weinerful Christmas

Quick how-to (5 minutes)

  1. Cut card base out of Kraft card stock. 5 1/2 x 4 1/4.
  2. Cut a white cardstock out if a slightly smaller stitched A2 sized stitched rectangle to allow some kraft color base to perk through.
  3. Cut 3 strips of patterned paper from the Christmas Parade Paper Pack at 1 5/8 in x 4 or use a size smaller A2 layering rectangle to add stitches on the edge of slightly smaller stitched panel; adhere each panel a little wonky/askew. See photo.
  4. Stamp the dinosaur playing drums image towards the bottom of a white piece if cardstock measuring 1 3/4 2 in x 3 3/4 in. Color with your favorite medium. I used Olo and Copic together, with some white pencil.
  5. Stamp pine branch on top and select 3 small ornaments and stamp haphazardly under the branch, connecting each ornament to the tree using a straight edge and a black fine liner pen.
  6. Adhere the stamped panel to a piece of kraft cardstock 2×4 inches. using dry adhesive mini tape runner. I used the Tape Runner MINI.
  7. Adhere all pieces except the stamped and colored matted panel using the Tape Runner Mini from http://www.TapeRunner.com. For 10% off use code: KELLY10
  8. Add sentiment, Stickles, crystal effects glaze and white gel pen snow; this allows you to tuck a sparkly accent or two.
  9. Add the stamped panel with double-sided foam tape for added dimension.
  10. I used a dirty ink-blending brush with some leftover Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink from Ranger. It took a little of the brightness out of the stark white panels to give a rustic or dreamy feel. You can simply add a small amount of the ink to a clean brush snd ink blend off most onto a piece of scrap paper and THEN to your project. It’s very subtle.

If you liked this, try the same sketch with different color combos or swap the images for other critters, toys or ornaments. Thanks for stopping by — and if you shop Pajama Crafter Stamps, I’d appreciate you using my affiliate link above!

Crafting Joy: A Whimsical Card Creation 🎄✨

🎉✨ Meet my latest handmade card featuring a mischievous kitty on a mission to whack those Christmas ornaments! 🎄😸 Using the HIGH FIVE and RUSTIC CHRISTMAS OWL stamp sets, I created a scene that’s all about festive fun! Plus, an ACTION WOBBLER adds a playful touch to this naughty kitty.

Who else has a cat that loves to stir up holiday mischief? Share your stories below! 😻👇 #HandmadeCards #CatMischief #HolidayFun


Hello, fellow crafters! Today, I want to share a delightful project that combines two of my favorite Pajama Crafter Stamp’s stamp sets: Rustic Christmas Owl and High Five. 🦉🐱

Here is a photo using the images from RUSTIC CHRISTMAS OWL set:

I recently whipped up a fun card featuring the evergreen branch from the Rustic set, paired with the playful mouse and fish smaller images as “ornaments” and one of the mischievous cats from the High Five set. The stars are also from the HIGH FIVE set and really pop off the page! The best part? The process of mixing and matching these stamp sets to create something entirely unique!

Step by Step Breakdown

  1. Choosing the Base: I started with a lovely card base in BLACK, setting the perfect tone for a non-traditional Christmas-themed creation.
  2. Stamping the Cat: I stamped the adorable cat, coloring it up with my Copic markers, ensuring to capture all the little details that make it so charming. It sets the stage for a warm holiday vibe!
  3. Ornament Fun: Next, I added the ornaments from the High Five set, hanging them playfully from the limb I stamped onto a piece of Alcohol Marker Friendly paper using a stitched oval die. I used my Copic markers to color the branch and ornaments. I then used Diamond Stickles to add extra sparkle. Their vibrant colors really pop against the background!
  4. Making the Mischievous Cat Wiggle: No card is complete without a hint of mischief! After stamping and coloring the cheeky cat from the HIGH FIVE set, I attached an ACTION WOBBLER on the back of the cat in the middle of the back-side of the cat cutout and adhered it as if it’s ready to pounce on those ornaments. It adds a whimsical touch that’s sure to bring a smile.
  5. Finishing Touches: I added some stamped stars using a Distress Oxide ink pad in WALNUT STAIN and colored up in yellow and added white gel pen for shine.

Why Mixing Sets is So Much Fun

One of the joys of crafting is the ability to personalize every little detail. When you mix and match different stamp sets, you’re not only saving time, but you’re also sparking creativity in ways you might never have imagined!

I love how the Rustic Christmas Owl branch turns this non-Christmas set called HIGH FIVE, into a warm and light-hearted holiday-themed card with a classic feel, while the playful elements of the High Five set give it a modern twist. It’s like creating a whole new story on each card, filled with charm and cheer!

Featuring Pajama Crafter Stamps

🎉✨ Happy World Fussy Cutting Day! ✂️🖌️

I’m excited to share a special card that highlights the magic of fussy cut stamped images! 💌

So grab some stamped images and a pair of scissors and let’s get crafting!

I started by using white pigment ink on Kraft colored cardstock, then heat embossed over the white ink with clear embossing powder. This technique created a beautiful look reminiscent of white royal icing on gingerbread cookies! 🍪✨

To add a touch of warmth, I blended some walnut stain Distress Ink around the edges of the cut images from the “Baking Spirits Bright” stamp set, giving them that freshly baked cookie vibe. After that, I gently wiped away any excess distressed ink from the embossed images with a soft cloth for a neat finish.

Fussy cut images popped up on watercolor panel with foam tape for added dimension.
